• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

Product Overview

Familiarize yourself with the main parts of your blender:

• Motor Base: The main unit housing the powerful 1/2 horsepower motor and the 2-speed toggle switch. Features a durable die-cast construction with a fingerprint-resistant finish and oversized rubber feet for stability.
• Glass Jar: A 5-cup (40 ounce) scratch-resistant, dishwasher-safe glass container for blending ingredients.
• Blade Assembly: Revolutionary ice crusher blade designed for efficient blending and crushing.
• Lid with Filler Cap: Secures the jar during operation and allows for adding ingredients while blending.

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Clean: Before first use, wash the glass jar, lid, and blade assembly in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth.
3. Assemble Blade: Ensure the blade assembly is securely seated at the bottom of the glass jar.
4. Position Base: Place the motor base on a clean, dry, and stable surface.
5. Place Jar: Carefully place the assembled glass jar onto the motor base, ensuring it is properly aligned and seated.

Operating Instructions

1. Add Ingredients: Place your ingredients into the glass jar. For best results, add liquids first, then soft ingredients, and finally ice or frozen items. Do not fill above the 5-cup (40 oz) mark.
2. Secure Lid: Place the lid firmly onto the glass jar. Ensure the filler cap is also securely in place.
3. Plug In: Plug the blender into a standard electrical outlet.
4. Select Speed: Use the toggle switch on the motor base to select your desired speed: LOW or HIGH. For quick bursts of power, use the PULSE function by momentarily holding the switch in the desired speed position and releasing.
5. Blend: Allow the blender to operate until desired consistency is achieved.
6. Stop: Once blending is complete, switch the blender to the OFF position.
7. Unplug: Always unplug the blender from the outlet before removing the jar or cleaning.

Blending Tips:

• To crush ice effectively, ensure there is some liquid in the jar with the ice.
• If ingredients stick to the sides, turn off the blender, remove the lid, and use a spatula to push ingredients towards the blades. Never use utensils while the blender is running.
• For thicker mixtures, use the pulse function to break up ingredients before continuous blending.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your blender.

Cleaning the Glass Jar and Blade Assembly:

• The glass jar and blade assembly are dishwasher safe. Place them on the top rack of your dishwasher.
• Alternatively, for quick cleaning, add 2 cups of warm water and a drop of dish soap to the jar. Secure the lid and blend on LOW for 10-20 seconds. Rinse thoroughly.
• Handle blades with extreme care as they are sharp.

Cleaning the Motor Base:

• Always unplug the blender before cleaning the motor base.
• Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
